What type of head do you have on your machine a midas head or a zi-fi head? Regardless of which you do have I would make sure that the head is clean where to tools go into the head. Use a soft swab or something similar so you do not damage the z forc

We are having issues with solder flooding some through hole pin receptacles which have an organic fiber plug on the soldering end. Anyone else use these types of receptacles and soldering with selective solder. Appears the plugs may be not sealed w

30 HP variable frequency drives are available online as well as at store. One can buy them online or from the store for their motor which will support 22kw or higher variable frequency drive properly. The compatibility of the motor and vfd depends on

I would always have top and bottom preheaters in a solderwave machine. Even if you can make it work without them, it's better to heat both sides of a board then just one. Far less stress on the parts you are soldering. Plus you may need it one day fo

I'm looking to gather some opinions. The C.M. I work for has always used the 3D Stereo Binocular Microscopes. There is a big push towards LCD Camera scopes, that is meeting a lot of resistance from the Solderers and QA. What is the consensus out ther

I have not used many camera/display scopes (have seen a few demos) but I've never seen one that gave me the same quality image as a binocular scope. I even take pics with my phone through the lens and they don't come out half bad, even after cropping

People in general are fairly resistant to change ( I've found ) - however, we're looking at the same move to LCD cameras shortly. My main apprehension is the lack of stereo vision ( and associated depth perception ) when reworking under it but I'm s

Another thing you can check is where the bar comes down off of the hydra z motor there is a little bearing you can see from the front make sure that bearing is turning even oil it up a little. You can also adjust the tension by loosening the tiny set

The fact, that your Hydra head goes up and then starts moving slowly, means that it didn't find the limit. Since there are no mechanical obstructions and you swapped all the boards, the things to look at are cabling. Double check the ribbon cables fo

I have tried that Tim and I get the same error message. Originally it would pass in the service menu but when I switched back to TPsys, it would fail. I tested the friction one time it did pass and it was well withing the range. Thanks for the res
